Little demo of my 3D printed’s Mickey magic wand. The 1st interest is to code your own animations with the power of the tiny Adafruit Gemma M0! Designed with FreeCAD software.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Thanks to Ross Bishop for his fantastic design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3402220).
I made some small improvments, to avoid dust and to store 6, 8 and 10 filters.
You need a bit sanding after the print to get the perfect fit for the slides.

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
Does the world need another Keyblade? This Keyblade is designed to be an easy-to-build kit with parts that screw fit together. No support material is required! 3D print and build your own Kingdom Key!
Use a brim where necessary. First, print out the tester-tube.stl twice and see how well they screw together – Adjust slice settings as necessary.
Need to change the diameter of the screw? How about using different heat set inserts? The parts are setup with user parameters, so it’s easy to change a value and automatically update the features in CAD. Tolerances use a “gap” to give clearance between mating surfaces – slight adjustments make big differences.
The fusion 360 source file is included and features original sketches and feature timeline along with easily editable user parameters. The parts can further be separated into small pieces for fitting on printers with smaller build volumes. Note: STEP file is included for other 3D surface modeling programs such as Onshape, Solidworks and Rhino.
The blade is comprised of seven parts. The collar joins the tubing to the handle. The pipe extension is printed twice to lengthen the tubing. The key wards slide into the v-slot on the pipe-key.stl part. The pipe-top-cap.stl part is designed to snap fit and locks on top.
The handle is comprised of six individual pieces. The cross guard requires M3 screws and heat set inserts. The end cap and connector parts are keyed and snap fit into registrations in the cross guard.
Layer by Layer CAD Tutorials
Knurling Textures
The grip in the handle features knurling texture that wraps around the cylinder. This design technique is achieved using the coil and circular pattern features in Fusion 360. Watch my Layer by Layer tutorial below for a deep dive on how to apply knurling to your parts.
Screw Threaded Parts
Most of the tubing pieces feature screw-threaded ends allowing the parts to simply screw together. This uses the coil feature from Fusion 360 to create threads with custom size, pitch and height. Watch my Layer by Layer tutorial below for a deep dive on how to design parts with these features.

The Parking Pal is an ultrasonic distance meter to help with parking in the garage. It’s based on the HC-SR04 and an Arduino Pro Micro. It includes a NeoPixel interface (NeoPixel stick, by default) to display distance, and an integrated buzzer to beep when you’re getting too close! It’s modular, using a simple USB connector.

It’s never too early to start thinking about how to snazz up your mortar board! From rachelklesius on Instructables:
I was attending the graduation of my friend last May and my friend leaned over to me and said “Hey Rachel, you should do an Arduino project so that you’re really easy to spot when you graduate.” So I did just that.
Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!
Charge it and enjoy music I repeat it but it’s not very lound but still audible and lacks a bit of bass but overall a great project. Also I didn’t expect this but there is not a ton of sound leakage it’s relatively quiet.

Using an iterative process, I built 10 prototypes, printed more than 100 proofs, and used more than a kilometer of filament. The final result is a portable printing press that costs only 5€ of material and can be printed by everyone with access to a 3D-printer. The plans of the »Open Press Project« are completely free to use in order to give access to printmaking to as many people as possible.
We’ve got so much happening here at Adafruit that it’s not always easy to keep up! Don’t fret, we’ve got you covered. Each week we’ll be posting a handy round-up of what we’ve been up to, ranging from learn guides to blog articles, videos, and more.
